2 Going on 20!

Caroline loves to tell me how she is not a baby any more! She says, "Mommy, I grew up!"
It's so wonderful and so heartbreaking!



Taking time to smell the flowers.

The Secret Room


The magic words are, "Pocus, Pocus!"

James and I are having so much fun with Caroline! So far, we have not experienced anything "terrible" about 2. We LOVE this stage! Of course, we've said that at every age so far. :) She sleeps 12 hours at night and 3 in the afternoon. She loves to eat a variety of foods. She does well with manners for a 2 year old and is doing super without diapers! Aside from the occasional drama and whining and Oh yeah, the paci, she seems so grown up! She loves to stir up some "Llama Drama" when she doesn't get her way and say, "I'm allll alone."--pitiful isn't it?
Caroline's personality is silly, witty, zany and sweet. She loves to take care of her babies and have tea parties in her secret room, "Cafe Carolina," as she calls it. Changing her babies clothes is getting easier for her as well as changing her own outfits. She loves picking out her own shoes! She dresses up in her high heels often too. Her most favorite babies are "Bitty" and the princesses, or should I say Princess! Caroline knows and adores all of them, but Aurora is her best buddy! She has been to the store to buy a Cinderella baby and come home several times with another Sleeping Beauty! She also has an Aurora gown intended to be worn to Cinderella's Royal Table next month in Disney World!
Thanks to her Daddy, Caroline LOVES music! I cannot count how many songs she sings knowing all words and tunes perfectly. Which is amazing since her mother cannot carry a tune! A few of her favorites are, "Once Upon A Dream," "My Girl," "Beauty and the Beast," and "Doe-Ray-Me", fondly called, "Doe a Deer." You should also see her dance moves. Her favorite dance song is Boom Boom Pow! We continue to attend Kindermusic with Mrs. Lisa. It is the highlight of her week.
Caroline also loves to learn! She loves learning to spell words and draw people. She blows my mind doing puzzles and her vocabulary is amazing. She's just so darn fun right now! Loves hugs, smooches and being tickled. Her laugh is infectious and is my absolute favorite sound on Earth!
